A series of boron doped magnetic zirconium catalysts were developed for the selective transfer hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural (FFR) into furfuryl alcohol (FA) using 2-propanol as hydrogen source and solvent. Full characterizations with XRD, SEM, TG, Py-IR, NH3-TPD, and CO2-TPD techniques were undertaken to uncover structural properties o...

Globally, population dietary intakes fall below the guideline recommendations and large-scale interventions have had modest success in improving diet quality. To inform the development of more targeted approaches, this study analysed the variations in self-reported data from an online survey of Australian adults collected between 2015 and 2020, to ...
Novel high temperature-resistant thermal barrier coatings are urgently required as the stringent operating environment. High temperature property studies of zirconia matrix thermal barrier coatings doped with Cr3+, Mg2+, Si4+, and Mn4+ ions prepared by solid phase reaction method are reported. The results of X-ray diffraction measurements prove the...
Most of the vanadium (V) is industrially extracted from vanadium slag, a byproduct in steelmaking, via the sodium roasting-water leaching or calcification roasting-acid leaching process, which usually suffers from environment pollution or decrease in product purity. In this paper, a novel process of vanadium extraction featuring carbochlorination o...
Au supported on monoclinic ZrO2 (Au/m-ZrO2) prepared by deposition-precipitation method showed excellent catalytic performance in the aerobic oxidation of amino alcohols to amino acids, i.e., glycine, alanine, serine, beta-alanine, and 2-aminobutyric acid. The Au particle size and valence distribution of the gold species were adjusted by calcinatio...

A series of Ni-modified Mo2C catalysts with La2O3-stabilized ZrO2 supports were synthesized via template method coupled with incipient wetness impregnation and temperature-programmed carbonization. The catalyst was tested in dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction at the temperature range from 973 to 1173 K in a fixed-bed quartz reactor under atmos...

This publication reports the EAO Workshop group-2 discussions and consensus statements which provided the scientific evidence on the influence of biological parameters on implant-related clinical outcomes. The first publication was a systematic review on the biological effects of abutment material on the stability of peri-implant marginal bone leve...
Lowering the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) devices is one of the major challenges limiting the industrial breakthrough of this technology. In this study we explore a novel approach to electrode preparation employing amorphous cathode materials. La0.8Sr0.2CoO3−δ dense films have been deposited at different temperatures using ...
